C59 (1/2)

Was she such a placebo substitute in his mind?

Mother Huo saw that she was silent for a long time and knew that her words were too direct, hurting the child's heart. However, after recalling so many things, her mind was also in a mess, and she couldn't think of any other ways to comfort her. She could only wave her hand and say, ”Jinxin, I'm a bit tired too. You should go upstairs first. I'll go to my room to rest.”

Ye Jin's mind was filled with chaotic thoughts as he gave a ”En” in a daze. Hugging the small box on the table in his arms, he then shakily stood up and walked upstairs.

Is that really the case?

She became Lin Jianning's shadow.

Ye Jinxin felt her chest contract.

Perhaps, in his heart, he really was a substitute for that girl.

Otherwise, why would a cold-hearted person like Huo Tindong suddenly show such kindness and adopt someone with a different surname that was not related to him in any way?

It was one thing if he didn't want to. However, the more he thought about it, the more chills he felt.

He walked up the stairs in a daze. The moment he closed the door, Ye Jinxin seemed to have been drained of all her energy. She slowly slid down the door and sat on the floor.

He was oblivious to the fact that he was being distracted by his own past as if he were an eye- eyed girl.

It was five o'clock, and Holtington drummed his long, thin fingers on the steering wheel impatiently.

Was she still going home?

If he had known that her sister would be so slow, he wouldn't have come here to be her chauffeur.

”Little uncle?”

Gao Yunqi opened the door and sat in the back seat. He stared doubtfully at Huo Tindong, who was sitting in the driver's seat. ”Are you coming home with us?”

Go home with you, hmph, my daughter is still at the Huo house, will I abandon her?

He put his cigarette out in the ashtray in the car and shook his head. ”I'll take you and your mother home.”

Gao Yunqi replied, then asked, ”Where's the Brilliant Heart? Didn't she come with you? ”

Huo Ting Dong coldly snorted. He tightened his grip on the steering wheel. ”What relationship does she have with you? Why would she send you off?”

The corner of Gao Yunqi's mouth twitched, ”We're classmates, and we're cousins, it's not too much to come out and send us off.”

Huo Tindong put the car key in the ignition, turned around slightly and opened fire, then said in a deep voice, ”Cousin, this is a good reason, but let's just forget about it, I hope you can recognize one thing, Ye Jinxin is your sister, other than family, I don't want you to be completely unrelated to her, understand?”

Gao Yun's heart skipped a beat.

Even though Huo Tindong's tone was calm, not even a scolding, he felt his heart palpitate for no reason.

Danger.

Yes, dangerous.

Being in a big family, even if his mother Huo Linyun married his father and didn't involve herself in the Huo Family's Shang Hai anymore, only being able to build a harmonious but not reputable family with his father. However, Gao Yunqi's bone search for danger was also inherited from his mother.

Actually, Huo Linyun didn't want her child to be tired like her, being troubled by all sorts of mundane matters. Thus, she had never taught him any of the conspiratorial skills in business.
